Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Muffins

I’ve been running errands and haven’t had a chance to bake anything. However, Fuzz is finally starting to appreciate muffins and has asked me if I’d make her some Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Muffins for her take-to-school-morning-snack. Here is the recipe I’m using. It’s based on one in Glamour Magazine’s Gourmet on the Run cookbook which my aunt gave me in 1988. I can’t believe I’ve managed not to lose this book in twenty years and 10 or so different residences.

Update: I love this recipe because it is versatile and because I can make the muffins in my 6 count muffin pan. Also, it’s perfect not only for cinnamon chips, but for peanut butter chips, chocolate chips or berries. In the past I made 5 muffins, but there’s enough batter to fill 6 cups and still have respectable sized muffins. Here’s a picture of a peanut butter chip muffin.

And here’s one made with fresh blackberries.

The muffins aren’t too sweet, so just about any sweet add-in will make them perfect.

Speaking of appreciating your baked goods. I made the Masterpiece White Chocolate Chunk Cookies again. I’m taking them to share on the retreat I’m attending this weekend.
I’ll try not to mention it publicly every time I make them, but they are so good, and I’m so appreciative of your web site, and cookie baking abilities. So, thanks again!!

cinnamon chips are the best thing since wrapping-free caramel bits…or have they been around longer? either way, they’re spectacular! i’m always looking for new ways to use them, so i’ll be trying these muffins out immediately!
